Nothing Major

“Is and I are in a little group chat and this is a quote from John from Jim Cer. I think Jim summed this up really well because of that wind. That wind affected Carlos's creativity more than it affected Sinner's uh consistency. That was from Jim Courier. I think that's like summed it up really well. Carlos, especially in the second set, just seemed like he was couldn't find the momentum.”

“Center right now is just on a tear. You said it. Three master series in a row. He's playing so consistent backhand to backhand. No one can go can stay can hang with him. Not even Carlos right now. And Carlos kind of admitted that. And it's so tough when center knows that at any moment I can just lock in on the backhand side, hit the ball crosscourt line, and no one can hang with me.”

“I thought it was cool that maybe before the tournament they're interviewing Carlos and he acknowledged that he's going to lose the number one ranking at some point whether that was Monte Carlo at some point along the clay season. He knows basically he has too many points to defend. Sinner doesn't have any. That's kind that was like kind of cool. I thought I never remember like Rafer or Roger Novak like saying that.”

“I mean, speaking of number one, do these guys at the end of the day really care about being number one or they care about slam titles? Like, would you rather be number two and have more slam titles than Sinner? I think they care about year end number one. Yeah, they care about year end number. I think at this early in their career, I think maybe the year in number one doesn't really matter as much.”

“But as good as these guys are and as dominant as they are, they still pale in comparison to Rafa Nadal on Clay. I mean, how many times did Rafa go Monte Carlo, Barcelona, Madrid, Rome, Roland Garos? Just swept the clay court season. He did that 35 times in a row. It's a joke. It's a joke. No one can hold a candle to Rafa on this surface and no one will ever even come close.”

“I guess the answer to your question is no. Like Francisco Roy, it will hopefully help out. Rafa spent an afternoon with her on the court. Like it was super fun. They hung out. That's in my opinion that's all it is. And it's not like EGA is going to be start hitting forehands like this and whipping it around. It's just like spending the afternoon around the aura of Rafa Nadal at his academy on Clay is just like good for the psyche.”

“If 7 months from a torn Achilles, I don't care if it was a partially torn. No one has ever done it. We're in a sport that you better use your legs and you better be full go 100% believe that you are going to be fine. This seems like a a bad idea from whoever's giving him this thought to go play Hamburg. Even if he takes the rest of the year off to get 100% healthy, he's not missing out on any.”

“But at the masters 1000 events like the winners check has gone down. When I won Miami in 2018 I won more money for winning the title than uh center did this year in 2026. That's spread the prize money out. There's more total prize money, but the winner share was like $200,000 less in give or take in 2026 as it was in 2018. It's insane. It's absurd. No sport in the world has that going on right now.”

“Speaking of Coachella, Stevie, you and I brought this up. If you buy a general admissions pass, you get in and then if you're like a Justin Bieber fan, you get in at noon and you run straight to the front. Do we think any of those people wore adult diapers? Because once you're in the front, you can't leave to go to the bathroom and get your way back to the front. For sure, Stevie. They're adult diapers at Coachella.”

“So I was going to bring this up. From what I hear is like if you're a top if you're top five in the world or maybe like a top five seed, but you also have to be top five in the world too. I think you get a Porsche for playing and then if you win the tournament, you get a Porsche as well. So, I think there's been years where a player, a female player has been ranked like three in the world, gets a Porsche for playing and then wins the tournament and also gets a Porsche. So, you get two Porsches.”
